Busted

"Oh my bills are all due And the baby need shoes 'cause I'm busted Cotton is down to a quarter A pound but I'm busted Got a cow that's gone dry And a hen that won't lay A big stack of bills That gets bigger each day The county's gonna haul My belongings away, 'cause I'm busted I went to my brother To ask for a loan, I'm busted I hate to beg like a dog For a bone but I'm busted My brother said ""There ain't a thing I can do My wife and my kids Are all down with the flu"" ""I was just thinking Of calling on you, 'cause I'm busted"" Well I am no thief But a gal can go wrong when she's busted The food that I canned last summer Is gone and I'm busted The fields are all bare And the cotton won't grow So me and my kids Gotta pack up and go But I'll make a living Just where I don't know 'Cause I'm busted Yeah I'm broke Flat broke No bread I mean nothing "
